Anderson Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm amazed that Sewelly has suddenly become a 'I KNOW ALL!' kind of person Aye, his opinions have started to have a very arrogant tone about them. It's that fucking chicken, it's brainwashed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I refuse to acknowledge Marcelo simply because he's one of the most dislikeable people in football. Snide little cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The Clichy thing seems to be a case of "play for big club so must be good player" when really he's not actually a very good defender. Showed promise at one stage but has drastically gone down hill IMHO. Agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Got to debate Marcelo, Fabio Aurelio and Bale there Felipao. None are competent defenders IMO. Especially Bale and Marcelo. Great being able to go forward but defensive responsibility is always more important. Those latter two in particular look simply out of position at fullback IMO.

ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Assou Ekotto has been excellent for 2 seasons now. Does alreet for somebody that hates football. Totally forgot him, also better then Enrique. Ekotto that is. No chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Marcelo has improved a lot defensively under Mou. I fear he'll turn him into a very good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think Sews head is gonna explode during this discussion Your Ekotto suggestion nearly pushed me over the edge like. Why you been avoiding the Serie A thread lately? Rafa is gone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Assou Ekotto has been excellent for 2 seasons now. Still your weaklink (along with DM) IMO. No way. Ekotto is one of our most important players and is ridiculously underrated. He's been exceptional since Arry's been here and doesn't get the credit he deserves. Dm is a weak link i guess but Palacios is slowly getting some form back and Sandro looks promising. Our biggest weak link is upfront and rb when Hutton plays (altough i hae to admit he's been damn good recently)....still don't trust him though.

Guest kingdawson Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think BAE is a good player but I rate both Enrique and Baines higher. I don't but i would say that. I think the fb positions are positions where neutral fans don't really pay attention to so they judge players based on highlights. Only the fans of the teams will really see how good the player is, so naturally they go for their own player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over whom? over all our strikers, over Hutton, over one of our cb's (being that the cover cb is usually just as good), over one of our cm's (being that our other cm is just as good....except modric).

Village Idiot Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Elías Mendes handed his first start for Atlético tonight. Curious to see him, the guy's already a legend for the Indians before kicking a ball. EDIT: I was wrong, his first game was against Mallorca this past weekend.
